Just caught the end of Episode III again from the Spike Marathon the other day. I still think the Empire is all Yoda's fault. If Yoda let Obi-Wan tag-team with him against Darth Sidious and taken Sidious out, there would have been no Galactic Empire. I mean, Anakin was only a Sith for like 5 minutes.

Anyone else wonder (besides the obvious plot point) why Darth Sidious bothered to rescue Anakin? Wouldn't have been better for Darth Sidious to just train a new (non-jacked-up) apprentice?

If Palp died who would the clones take orders from? They should have Tag Teamed against both Siths. Palp had just killed almost all the force sensitive people in the galaxy. Anakin is very strong with the force and it makes up for a lot of physical issues. (size, age, missing limbs) Why not fix up the guy you have been grooming to be your apprentice for 15 years.
